Is Apple planning to bring iTunes on Android?

One of the fondest memory of Steve Jobs, for me personally, was when he presented a slide that said, ‘iTunes, the best software written for Windows’. It was the ultimate troll of a competitor and sort of stuff only Steve could pull off. But looks like Tim Cook is planning something similar and could bring iTunes to the rival Mobile OS, Android. It is virtually impossible to imagine an iTunes Store on an Android device, but this could be the best thing to happen to Android as it lacks one clear source of digital content, with Google Play Music and Google Play Movies very much Work in Progress. With iTunes sales not doing great on Apple devices and Windows desktops, there is very little Apple can do other than tap into the large numbers of Android, according to 9to5Mac

BlackBerry OS 10.3 has been leaked out. It features a Siri or Google Now like Virtual Assistant as well as a new flatter looking design. According to the leaked screenshots, BlackBerry is working on some pretty cool changes and also are set to bring some neat changes to the Camera application including ability to shoot videos in 720 P at 30 and 60 FPS. The overall performance has been enhanced as well. Some of the other changes include, a flatter keyboard and faster browsing speeds. The OS is very much in Beta so you can expect some more changes before the update rolls out to people.
